In addition, Poland is connected to two important freight corridors, while is also playing an increasingly important role in transport system to and from China.
With its own carrier in Poland, ÖBB RCG now forms the bridge on freight corridor 8 for transport services from the North Sea ports to Poland, Russia and on to Asia. Furthermore, the rail logistics provider ensures the connection of Polish industrial centres to the Adriatic ports and Southern Europe via Freight Corridor 5.
